Hand-Forged Elongated Oval Lapis Sterling Silver Earrings

These hand-forged sterling silver earrings are built in our Adirondack jewelry studio, featuring elongated oval lapis lazuli stones set in serrated bezels. The deep blue of the lapis is framed with precision, creating a clean, vertical form designed for everyday wear. This is one-of-a-kind silver jewelry, shaped through disciplined bench work and intentional proportion.

Form & Wearability

Measuring approximately 1.5 inches in length, these earrings offer a refined drop with a balanced, lightweight feel. The elongated oval shape creates a natural line that complements the face without excess scale.

A slight overhang in the backplate, finished with hand-filed notches, introduces subtle texture and depth while maintaining a controlled silhouette. Designed for daily wear, they move easily while holding structure.

Material & Studio Practice

Forged from solid sterling silver, each element is shaped and finished by hand using traditional silversmithing tools. The serrated bezel secures the lapis while adding a fine, tactile edge that enhances the stone’s presence.

The backplate is cut and filed to follow the stone’s form, with intentional notching that reflects careful handwork at the bench. This is artisan sterling silver rooted in traditional practice, where each detail is considered and executed with precision.
